Stephen Colbert has been pitching amnesty and illegal immigration lately, and on Friday he'll be on Capitol Hill (link) (presumably) promoting the AgJobs amnesty and the UFW's TakeOurJobs. The UFW promotes his appearance here.

If I can get some help, we might be able to make both Colbert and Rep. Zoe Lofgren (a former immigration lawyer) look bad.

Why is this important? Because Colbert has a megaphone, and he and Stewart are trusted by large numbers of people. And, most of those people aren't familiar with the details of immigration matters. This is also an example of very strong illegal immigration supporters (the UFW) getting establishment support outside their usual field.

What you can do about this is to help discredit Colbert *to his audience*. To do that, you make the simple point to as many people in his audience as possible that the UFW's TakeOurJobs is anti-American and pro-abuse. That link explains the argument and links to two other posts making a similar argument.

And, the things you can do from the link above:

1. Send a tweet to @StephenAtHome and let him know you support American workers and oppose worker abuse.

2. Do a search at Twitter for those promoting Colbert's plan, unwittingly or not. Send them the link above ( short version: http://24ahead.com/n/10221 ) and suggest they support American workers.

3. Post about this at Facebook.

4. Post about this at forums that are generally supportive of Colbert.

5. Leave a comment on this post I created at his forum.

6. Sign the Twitter petition here.

7. Tell your friends about this post and encourage them to get involved.
